i am wanting to know if this heats up the house like a real oven

No, of course not. It's just a small counter-top toaster oven. It heats up the immediate space around it, inches, I mean, but if it's not on the edge of the counter you won't feel the heat standing in front of it. Not only does it not heat up the house, it doesn't even heat up the kitchen.

No. The pan in this toaster over is only about 6 X 8 inches. You could not even heat up the kitchen with it.
34612
No, not in the least. The outside of the oven does get hot and warms the immediate area, but not the entire room let alone the entire house.

No. Think of a big toaster. It gets hot for a few minutes, but then it's done. I thnk for small things like single portions of frozen entree or toasting bread or rolls, this is a perfect gizmo, much less heat and energy than a big oven.

Used my in oven worked great but gas burner to me would be to much direct heat

Don't know, but I returned this oven because it was under powered. Unless you have a dedicated electrical line for it, it doesn't heat up sufficiently. It is intended for a commercial not residential application, and a dedicated circuit is required.

No. The outside does get warm, but I use it to warm plates. It doesn't make the kitchen any warmer than when I use my oven. I think it's great

I can tell you this, it is not true convection, it is combined. External temp reached over 110 degrees, attempting to return to Sharp, wish me luck, been going thru the return process for over a month now. I would not recommend to anyone who loves and have cooked in true convection ovens.

I haven't tried that, so I really can't say. It heats up quickly & I usually just put it on high to heat things up.

It doesn't get too hot. I have it sitting on my counter and use it every day. There are heat safe handles on the side to use if you need to move it while it's cooking. I have never been burned using this oven. I would say it gets warm, but no more than that.

i Only tried that on the shaving machine, and it's working well.as for the oven i think you should check the Watts it consume in order to make sure if this item will handle it or not.

I agree with others who say this oven gets very hot, especially the glass door. The housing is all metal and it heats up when the oven is on. It is too hot to touch, so I would say this is not a good choice if that type of heat is a concern. Sorry, because it is such a good item in other respects.

yes, I used it for my oven which is electric with no elements showing. It is very flimsy and when I used it at medium heat, marks from the heat showed when I took it out. Thus I never used it a second time. I bought a better one at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Hi Mark,I haven't used my oven very often since I got it but I think that when I've baked something, the timer has to be turned on to activate the heating elements. Then when the timer runs out, the oven's heat shuts off. I could be incorrect but it shouldn't take much experimenting for you to find out for yourself.

I have not used my oven very much. We have yet to move into our cabin. I would not ordinarily bake a lasagna or cake in this oven. I prefer using my regular stove oven. I would try muffins and I do cook fish toaster ovens. We did try toasting four sliced of bread and English muffins and it did a good job. I think we will be happy with our purchase.

If heat and/or safety is of concern, I would definitely look elsewhere. The exterior frame, especially the front door glass of this oven gets exceptionally hot and could cause burns. (both my wife and I have been burned). Children should not be allowed to operate this oven or even come close to it when it is running.

I agree that some reviews look fishy (as are some answers to your question). Yes, this is essentially a small convection oven, not a "fryer". You will get exactly the same results in a convection (or regular) oven.

I've had absolutely no problems with it heating up at all but I also havent used it for more than a couple minutes at a time.

Yes it does! I own a Twin Eagles Power Burner (TEPB24HG-B) and placed this pizza oven directly over it. The results were amazing....well over my expectations. The built in temperature gauge showed that it heated to about 750 degrees and it cooked the thin crust pizza it about 3-4 minutes. It results were identical to a real brick oven owned by a friend. However, my only caution to you if you are thinking of putting it on top of a BBQ grill is the hood. You need to make sure that your hood (including the top rack of your grill) opens wide and far back enough for this oven to fit on top and still have room. The top of the pizza oven can get extremely hot. Hope this helps. Yes it does! I own a Twin Eagles Power Burner (TEPB24HG-B) and placed this pizza oven directly over it.
